I have the same problem now that I had with this film originally: A "frog-killer" has no place in a Muppet Movie, although the "High-Noon" gunfight is lots of fun and a giant "Animal" steals the scene. This film is amazing because there are no CGI generated special effects. It is all done with miniatures, animatronics, and over-sized Muppets. You can only imagine all the Muppet Performers, on their hands and knees, in a trench, dragging along the floor of the set with "rich and famous" Orson Welles. Most of the cameos work quite well and it is especially nice to see Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy for one last time. The Paul Williams score is almost perfect and he remains a very under-rated composer. He is a genius, and still plays Vegas in concert, from time-to-time. Miss Piggy seems larger-than-usual in this film. Note her extended proboscis (snout)! I love this film which is an unabashed send-up of "Babes-In Arms" (Let's put on a show.) similar to "Muppets From Manhattan." Although Charles Durning is great as "Doc Hopper" in a parody of "Colonel Sanders", it also seems a bit "off" for a kid's movie. But then, Jim Henson always did the unique and unusual, didn't he?
The DVD transfer by Disney has some issues: uneven and thin sound quality at times. It will probably play better on 5.1 sound system. A few images are grainy or off-focus. Extras: No extras at all except for a short and disappointing 6-minute featurette.
The film is much more fun than the recent revival film, "The Muppets" which is a valiant effort, but seems too sad at times, as it portrays the Muppets as "has-beens" from another era. This is the original Muppets in their prime, with their best material, and in top form. Waka! Waka!
